I'm still trying to figure out why so many xbox fans care. This is an indie game. As far as I have been told on many many occasions in many many different forums xbox fans don't buy consoles to play indie games. That's for the sony fans and their indiestation. As far as I have been told and have seen, microsoft fans really don't care for or want this game so I really don't see a problem with it remaining a ps4 exclusive.

If it comes to X1 at all, it will be a year unless MS steps in. The reason being is they are a very small team relegated to one platform at a time. After PS4 they will go after PC next. Then maybe you will see X1.

"I'm still trying to figure out why so many xbox fans care. This is an indie game."

Its shaping up to be a great game...what do you care, what xbox owners like? And that is a great myth that PS fanboys keep spreading. I have 136 XBLA games at least 80 of those are indie games. So where does this crap about xbox owners not liking indies come from?

Many Xbox One owners on this site argue that the PS4 has an abundance of indie titles and this is supposedly a negative thing - hence the term 'indiestation'. Obviously if they make such a point, the logical conclusion is that these particular owners don't like indies. Both of you are partially wrong though; him for suggesting all Xbox owners hate indies, and yourself for thinking just because you like indie titles means every other Xbox owner does as well.

And if you could actually read you would have noticed that I said in many different forums hence not just n4g. If you are claiming to have never seen such comments made by xbox fanboys littered all over the Internet then you either have selective observance syndrome or are a passive liar.

Such a short turnaround would be unlikely. The team has said they would like to develop for PC as well, but they probably lack the numbers to work on a Xbox port while developing for PS4 and PC. Six months is more likely, unless MS helps them out (which they should) and contracts allow it.

Outlast was on PS4 first because of Sony's openness with indie devs, PlayStation Plus and Microsoft's own policies holding things back.

No Man's Sky has been signed by Shahid Ahmad (as in contractually) as a console exclusive, with the developer really only mentioning PC as a console that they are super excited to support as well as PlayStation. This article is COMPLETELY redundant. It's just an Xbox guy repeating what we already know about the game.

What matters though, is that this gorgeous, ground-breaking procedural adventure game will make its name on PS4 before anything else since Sony had the gall to pick it up promote and support the concept. It's a game about the joy of pure discovery, and looks like PS4 guys will be "discovering" things before anyone else.

But I thought indies were "trash", so not worth talking about? Seems that they are worth talking about, when they "might" be coming to the Xbone.

The only ones who said indies are all trash were disgruntled Xbox fanboys. But plenty are coming around now that Microsoft is pushing some indie initiative, which is good because more exposure for indies means they can gain more success.

It will come to XB1, but I'm trying to understand what all the hype is with this game. It looked ok, but people are talking like its the second coming. I mean from what I saw you roam around and eventually have air combat. Looks good, but I haven't seen enough to see why this game is being hyped the way it is.

You know I'm about to light you up for your hypocrisy, right? Be right back.

Update: And I'm back. Hey truefan1, maybe you are having a difficult time understanding the hype for this game, but remember when those programmers from Naughty Dog tried to explain to you why you shouldn't get too hyped for DX12 on XB1? Remember how you responded?

"ND must be threatened to issue this statement, especially saying pure marketing hyperbole. He sounds like all of you, this must be pre June 2nd damage control. Also sony execs sure worry alot about what MSFT is doing, saying DX12 will do nothing and planning a reactionary E3.

"This guy must be privileged to get access to DX12 this early lol. This damage control excites me, because if it was nothing the ICE TEAM wouldn't care."

So a game we've actually seen something of you're trying to understand the hype for, but DX12 which you've never seen on XB1 was something you went on the attack defending? Hmmm. You must be "threatened" to masquerade such "damage control" as a legit comment.

"It will come to XB1, but I'm trying to understand what all the hype is with this game. It looked ok, but people are talking like its the second coming."

Truefan hyping XB1:

"Maybe I'm missing something, but what was the point of your reply. At least there are some XB1 exclusives to actually play. I would say in 2014 xb1 has the better lineup of games as well. I can't say for certain, but quantum break looks fantastic, titanfall=gamechanger, Halo, project spark, sunset overdrive....Also isn't that spectacular game the Divison supposed to be more dynamic on XB1."

" but I haven't seen enough to see why this game is being hyped the way it is."

For me, it looks like the perfect game to just lay down and relax too and get immersed. I can understand why some people are saying they don't really see the point in it though, definitely. I know that abstract kinda games like these aren't for everyone.

Exploring space in your personal ship, with seamless transitions to and from planet surfaces and procedurally generated space is just amazing to me, but then again, ive always been a huge Sci-Fi nerd, and i don't really mind if there isn't really a 'point' to the game. The art style is a big plus for me too. But different strokes for different folks i guess.

It's reasons like this that im glad i own both consoles, i would have been livid if i only owned an X1 and found out it was exclusive to PS4 first.

@truefan Is a type of person every one should ignor, not sure if truefan and georgenoob are the same person but at least georgenoob claim to own a ps3. Making him more open minded. Anyways truefan was one of the xboxers who claimed titanfall was a game changer and that it will result in system seller, even outselling the ps4 on its release. We all know what happened.

Didn't you complain not that long ago about people going into xbone articles, and downplaying games? Yet, here you are.... In an article about a game that is likely going to only be on PC/PS4... Downplaying it because it's probably not coming out for xbone.

I'm pretty sure that if it happens to be confirmed for xbone, we won't hear the end how awesome the game is from you.

So, this article is all the XBox's indie divisions head talking about the game, and confirming that there are still no plans for it coming to X1. Microsoft employees shouldn't be trying to lead developers into decisions over public statements. They are just trying to get Hello Games attention, because they're being ignored by them.

If it were a timed exclusive then Sony would have put "Coming first to PlayStation" like they always have. They put "exclusive console debut". Meaning it's a console exclusive, but will be on PC as well, like it's already confirmed to be.

This is a misleading title. The title makes it sound like Hello Games said this could happen. But, the actual article talks about how it's still only coming for PS4 and PC like previously announced and that there are no plans for a X1 version.

@danzosama The developer clearly stated it would come to ps4 first, then they would like to do a pc version at some point, and wouldn't even mention the xbox by name. That is not a good sign. And when you're talking about small dev teams, things never move that quickly. Sony may have offered them assistance or may be moving to lock them in as a first party studio altogether, who knows? I don't, and neither do you. Maybe they appreciate the way Sony does business with them and will be another Quantic Dream or Ready at Dawn, who while not first parties only release games for Sony systems. Xbox only gamers better pray this isn't the case, but I feel Sony would be very wise to make it so. If this doesn't turn out to be the case, will Microsoft make an exception for the game to their foolish [email protected] policies that has already cost them with indie devs? And if they do it for this game, won't that affect them going forward with other indie devs who would not appreciate the rules being broken for one developer but not for them?

While the game will most likely come to the xbone, Joe Danger took so long because of the parity clause. They could put their original game on the 360 because of it. They had to add stuff to it so it could go over.

And yah, when you treat devs good, they'll be good to you as well. Not a real surprise (No Mans Sky timed) when you figured Sony helped them fund their first game and then said it was OK to bring it to the competition.

Where in the article does it say that they won't bring it to Xbox one a few months down the line, or a year or more later? It doesn't, everyone is just grasping hoping they get another "exclusive" instead of wanting everyone to get to enjoy the game.

they're not allowed to talk about it that's why they're not saying it.

Respawn were saying the exact same things about Titanfall til Microsoft secured it as a "lifetime exclusive" (still doubt it) and Zampella later basically confirmed that they were working on a PS4 version

So, the lack of talking about a XBox version makes you think they are going to make one? Okay. Hello Games has said only PS4 and PC. Sony said "exclusive console debut", which means console exclusive, as in only on their console, but also on PC. If it were a timed exclusive then they would have put "coming first to PlayStation" like they have before.

@torchic

Titanfall was always an exclusive when the public knew about it. They didn't even know that EA had gone behind their backs and took an exclusive deal with Microsoft until about the same time that we did, so they were planning on porting it to PS4 and had mentioned it before realizing that they were only working on Microsoft platforms for the title. Titanfall is an exclusive. Any spinoff or sequel is not and can go on any platforms they wish.

Exclusives from 3rd parties are non existent in this generation. The only way for a game to remain exclusive is for manufactures to pay an insane amount of money like Microsoft did for Titan Fall, but even then it was also on PC and who's to say the sequel won't end up on PS4? What it all boils down to is some of these games are expensive to make and everyone is just trying to get paid.

You can't really blame the developers and even Microsoft and Sony are just doing what they deem best to bring more customers to their consoles. While at the heart of it video games are meant to be a fun source of entertainment, there's also a business aspect that doesn't resonate too well with the gaming community and that's understandable too.

The only games that are truly exclusive is what comes from 1st parties and even those aren't guaranteed to last forever. People have to accept the fact that as technology improves so does the development cost to create new and compelling games. You can almost tell if this were the 90's Destiny and MGS5 would be exclusive to PS4 and Titan Fall and Division would be exclusive to Xbox One. But times have changed.

I think the main reason for Joe Danger's lack of support of support by Xbox fans, and this is from someone who bought it on xbox, was that there was a similar and superior product in Trials HD and Trials Evolution. This one is a bit different because we all know going in that this is a completely unique and astonishing gameplay experience that gamers universally seem to be clamoring for. My guess, 9 month difference.

This is why many people think Xbox fans hate indies. I'm sorry but I know many Xbox One owners who really want to play this game. And you know what? It's coming to the Xbox One. When it does plenty of Xbox fans will buy it and enjoy it.

There's nothing that you can say or do that will prevent this game from coming to the Xbox One.

Writing off a game because it's not on my console would just make me a fanboy. It's a silly fanboy argument and a cheap way to dance around not being able to get the game on my console of choice. No Man's Sky looked brilliant even before I knew it was a Sony exclusive and even then I hope this is true and Xbox gamers get to experience it as well.
